The Mexicans protest, because a goal from Alan Pulido was called offside. It would have meant a tie. It's a shame because the Mexican team is good. :(

After ten times refreshing I can finally wrote some words.

It was a disappointing first day and I hope it will be give some better results :(

Nice pics!!!

James Rodriguez loves to be with the U20 team. He always tweets and it's niceeeeeeee!

Tonight I will send all my best thoughts to Colombia and Uruguay!!!
WTF they have to play at the same time???

It took me ten tries before the post was accepted, then took you ten tries to leave a comment? *is sad*

OMG did you SEE the Colombia match??? I stayed up until 2 AM and they STILL didn't show it, went to sleep, woke up at 6 AM and they showed it at 6:30!!!!! WHAT A MATCH!!!!!!!!! They played like seniors - BOTH teams - France is GOOD, but they still got beat 4-1 and it could have been MORE! The crossbar was hit, the post was hit, and James had a second penalty saved. WHAT A TEAM THIS IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥

I hope the next match (on Tuesday I think) will not be played at such a shitty time!

I am following James on Twitter too. He is so cute...but he's no Jack Wilshere yet.

I saw the Uruguay match. They showed it instead of the other one that got rain delayed. It was a bit disappointing. Again, Portugal is a good team, but the quality of the match was nowhere near the Colombian one!

I was watching the Colombia match at 4am.... it was 10pm your time!!!

I loved the match! France is European Champion! I guess they are not a very good team...

O HATE PORTUGAL and for me they are playing like shit and like arseholes!!!

LOL. That's exactly what I said about Portugal! It made the match very disappointing. The Urus are good and I hope they can win their next games!

I thought France played very well, and if they were playing another team they would have won! But the Colombians are tooooo good. I hate to jinx them but I think they have what it takes to beat everybody. They just mustn't screw up, and they have to convert all their penalties! :/

I have still hope for my favs....

Chinito Martinez I'm sooooooo proud of you! He should have gotten that goal but the cross bar denied him lol.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

He did great! There have been far too many balls hitting the posts and crossbars in this tourney. Same for Copa America. I wonder what gives?

Idk, but it was extremely cute how all the SL babies posted on their fbs and twitter "noooo chinitooo! you deserved that!" My heart was bursting with cuteness, I can't even.
